A telegram was received by Mr. W. H. Betts of this city last Monday from Los Angeles, Calif., announcing the death of Mr. Hiram Curtis, well known in this county. The remains will reach Olathe this (Friday) evening on the 5:12 p. m. Santa Fe train and the funeral will probably be conducted from the depot.
